Pet care experience

My 🌎 is their 🌎 big fenced yard

I've been around dogs my whole life and worked closely with most breeds, as my mom has shown dogs professionally. My husband and I work as a team. * Please note that I take bookings as a first come first serve basis. Bookings are not finalize until confirmed through the Rover app. * All dogs must be crate trained! If dog is not, crate trained, the owner is liable for any damages caused by the dog. *Pick up and drop off windows are subject to only 1 hour windows. * I offer daily enrichment activities from snuffle mats to doggy puzzles. * We have lots of doggy toys and doggy beds. * I charge holiday rate for all dogs in my care during holidays even siblings * We take more than one booking at a time. But I can make accommodations if you would like your dog separated from any other guests we have. I have helped whelped puppy litters from Rottweilers, boxers,GSP to Chinese cresteds. Dogs have been family since birth to me, I also love taking photos of dogs and other animals sometimes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Crista and here family were absolutely wonderful with Oakley! She watched him for 10 days while we were on vacation, and I felt like he was incredibly well taken care of the entire time. Communication was great—she sent lots of pictures and updates of Oakley playing and enjoying himself, which made being away from him so much easier. She was also very flexible when we needed to adjust our drop-off time, and everyone was extremely courteous and welcoming when we met in person. I especially appreciated how many thoughtful questions they asked about Oakley, his routine, and the rules he follows at home. They really wanted to make sure they were keeping things consistent for him rather than letting him get away with things just because he was on his own little vacation. 😂 When Oakley came home, he was completely worn out, which is always a great sign—clearly he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention! We haven’t boarded Oakley in a very long time because we usually find a way to bring him along on our trips, so I was a little hesitant about leaving him for 10 days. After this experience, though, it feels really good knowing we have someone in Chattanooga we can trust with our fur baby when we’re traveling somewhere he can’t come along. I would absolutely book with Krista again and highly recommend her!

Crista and her husband were gracious enough to take our reservation request for all three pets at the very last minute when we had a family emergency. She was extremely communicative and sent many photos throughout their stay. We are so grateful!
